Thank you.

Im not sure there's a real need for a powered intake,the little 4 inch inline has enough pull where it creates a pretty strong negative pressure inside the tote,i wanted to have enough negative pressure where it would pull air from the holes farthest away from the fan at pretty much the same rate so the buds farthest away would still dry evenly.

Thanks fletch.

Ive been trying to use as many ideas as i can get from Al's get a harvest every 2 weeks thread without getting too far over my head ,Al's design has a heating element where fresh air is being drawn across a heat sink to warm the air & lower humidity but his plans are out of my comfort level skill wise.

I just put my 2 tote's in a mechanical room where the temp stays around 76 degrees & put a dehumidifier in the room that keeps the humidity level at 40%,as i get closer to the 2 week rotating schedule im going to have to add 2 more dryers.

My other dryer has been used twice & has completed both drying cycles in 4 days,the room i keep them in is pretty much a constant 76 degrees & humidity is kept at 40% in that room.

Im still working on the heat aspect of this where i can get something store bought & incorporate it into the design without worring about over heating or fire.

I thought of using a fish tank heater so i went to pet smart & opened one up & plugged it in,after it warmed up i licked my finger & touched it,those lil bastards get hot as hell,im sure it could be worked into the system with a thermostat but the fire aspect of it had me worried.

Im thinking of buying a couple of these mini dehumidifier devices & seeing how they work,supposedly they add heat & move air at the same time.

maybe all u need is one of these and just use that as your fan too and attached it to your box



just put the space heater on low an have it blow into your box


i just hang all my stuff in my grow room and put the fans on, then i have a space heater like the one above and i let it run on the bottom of my grow room. can dry them in like 2 days if i had too but usually do like 5 days on a lower setting depending how quik i need them and how worried i am about bud rot


another idea is get a cheap hair dryer and hook it to your box and use the lowest setting

i rekon just get one of those little heat pads,try and fit one in on the bottom,the heat off that should work just right,just a matter of fittin it in

wow!....very nicee!

Im not even sure that heating the air is needed,i really think its overkill unless 4 days is too long a wait to fit peoples needs,there is also the risk of overheating the thc to the point where it breaks down & looses potetency.

The trick is heating the air to just above the point where humidity evaporates before the air is brought into the cabinet.

yea true that. my last batch i was soo worried about bud rott cuz the colas were like 6" thick. i did overkill tho and roasted them hanging in my closet at 100 Degrees F for one whole night using the space heater on blast.

i wonder if i lost a lil potency, buds were strong enough anyway even with that. WW is some tastey shit man.

but after that debackle i didnt even flush them cuz of the bud rot issue and the erb is a lil harsh,

next time im just gonna flush the piss out of it and dry it normal.


if i need a bud early u can put it in the oven, I do 170 deg f which is the lowest setting on my oven takes anywhere from 10 - 20 min and then walla u got a nice crispy sample to amaze your friends
